What's in your freezer when you don't have an oven?

Lots of ice for the good beverages

We virtually never use our oven at home and do not have one in the camper. There is just the two of us. We don't oven cook big roasts or the like. We don't eat frozen French fries or frozen waffles.

When camping we eat even more simply than when at home. Most of what is in the freezer are hamburger patties and precooked meats: hamburger, sausage and chicken meat. We make sauce for pasta, chili, meats for tacos and burritos and the like. Most of what we have can be turned into a meal in less than 15 minutes. In many cases, starting from the freezer and refrigerator items we would be eating dinner before an oven even heated up.

Anything grillable-hot dogs, hamburgers, steaks, chicken, ribs, boneless pork chops, etc., frozen veggies, hamburg to make spaghetti or tacos, plus pre-cooked items like lasagna or stew. A microwave was a must-have for us but we never used our stove.

We have an oven and sometimes use it but we also use the freezer to put water bottles in it to freeze instead of buying ice. We can drink them when they thaw too and less hassle with dumping water from the cooler.

We do have an oven and use it frequently, but we also stock a number of items in our freezer that we grill, fry, boil, etc. We usually even have a couple of quick microwave meals of one sort or another. And sometimes leftovers of course... ;)

Vodka, ice and frozen berries (breakfast shakes). We're on the road now. We're not big meat eaters. I cooked up rice, pasta, made some potato salad and a bag of egg whites. Mostly salads and the above for our meals.

Give me some ideas... What's in yours?

The only oven I use is the MICROWAVE oven.
That dictates what is in my freezer.

We have all the same stuff but cook it in the Toaster Oven or frypan.

Our freezer is full of everything I cook outside, either with briquettes, or in the cast iron fry pan over gas.

That's quite the eye opener recipe :)
